Until they figure out a way to address their irrelevance on Mobile, devs will never fully switch since they have to do testing on mobile devices.
It is really sad that Gecko is becoming so good, but is mainly used to power a product in what is becoming a niche market (yes, desktop is becoming a niche in terms of users relative to mobile).
- eitland 9y agoI posting from Firefox monile now. It's my main browser. If I use Chrome only it is for my sockpuppet accounts. I far prefer FF even on mobile.
- mattmanser 9y agoI found it ate all my memory and crashed frequent. Nexus 5X.
- CaptSpify 9y agoOne of the things I found was that I had to use their Beta. Their main build wouldn't even start for me.
- fabrice_d 9y agoSure, I'm not saying that no one uses Firefox on Android. But their mobile marketshare is totally irrelevant compared to Chrome, UCBrowser or the Samsung browser (even this one alone has about as many users as Fx Desktop).
- hsivonen 9y agoThe amount of desktop usage hasn't gone down with mobile usage going up. Desktop isn't niche. That said, more market share for Fennec would be nice. (This comment written in Fennec.)
- fabrice_d 9y agoDesktop is less and less relevant compared to Mobile so it will get less and less attention from content producers. I don't mind that some people want to keep focusing on desktop products, they have their use. But I think it's not what Mozilla should focus on if they want to "promote internet for everyone".
